Patient's question:
Vaginal gland cyst, how can you treat it during your menstrual period? The doctor said to wait until after your period to treat it, but now it's swollen and very uncomfortable to move, causing a lot of pain. Is there any way to alleviate it?Doctor's answer:
The Bartholin gland cyst is not recommended for surgery during the menstrual period mainly because there is a fear of infection at the surgical site. Additionally, the menstrual period is also a contraindication for surgery. You can take oral antibiotics such as azithromycin or amoxicillin, and use PP powder or Fuyanjie mixed with water for sitz baths. If the inflammation subsides, the symptoms can be reduced. The surgery can then be performed after the menstrual period has ended. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and avoid foods. Rest more!
